Step 7a. If the measurements are not successful
due to a missing or malfunctioning speaker, the
message will
FAR FIELD E Q ERROR
appear as shown in Figure 17e. EzSet/EQ is pro-
grammed to look for speaker pairs at the front
left/front right, surround left/surround right and
surround back left/surround back right positions.
If the test results indicate that one, but not both
of the speakers in any of these pairs is present,
the menu will show
next to the speaker
N O
position where the tests did not report back that
a speaker is present. Should this message appear,
make note of the suspect speaker location, exit
all menus and turn the receiver off. Check all
speaker wire connections and then rerun
EzSet/EQ.

Step 7b. In some cases, the system may not
function properly due to overly high output
levels. When this occurs, you will see the
message shown in Figure 17f. If you see this
message verify that that the microphone is in the
correct position, and not too close to any one
speaker. Then press the Set Button
back to the

return to the EzSet/EQ system and when you are
once again at the

screen, reduce the system volume level by 3dB
before trying EzSet/EQ again.

Step 8. When the Far Field measurements are
completed, the system will ask you to take three
Near Field measurements, one at each front
speaker position. These measurements enable
EzSet/EQ to produce the most accurate settings
for both high and low frequency equalization.
The Near Field measurements are similar to the
Far Field tests, except that the system will
"listen" to only one speaker at a time, rather
than sending the test signals to all speakers in
rotation.
At the
NEAR FIELD E Q SELECT
(Figure 17g) that should be on your screen after
completing the instructions in Step 6, press the

repeating the setup process, you may also use

At the
NEAR FIELD E Q SELECT
(Figure 17g), you will see an instruction to place
the microphone in a different position than the
to go
one used for the initial Far Field measurements.
This time, place the microphone close to the
speaker to be measured, at a distance of about
60 cm. In addition, the top of the microphone
should be pointed towards the speaker, rather
than pointing up as was done for the Far Field
tests. For the first measurement, place the micro-
phone so that it is close to, and pointing
towards, the front left speaker, and with the on-
screen ➔ cursor pointing to

that it will contain an option to return to the

Step 10. One short test signal will be sent to the
speaker position being calibrated and after a
slight pause fro the system to calculate the test
results, you will see either a "Near Field
Complete" message or a "Near Field Error"
message. In most cases, the "Complete"
message will appear, in which case you should
proceed to Step 11, if an "Error" message
appears, go to Step 12.
Step 11. If the test results were successful, the
message shown in Figure 17h will appear. In
order to properly calibrate the system, you will
need to run the Near Field tests for all three front
channel speakers (left, center and right). After
running the test for the front left speaker, make
certain that the cursor is pointing towards

BACK T O NEAR FIELD
Button

Near Field Select menu (Figure 17g) where you
should repeat Steps 8 through 11 until all three
front speakers have been calibrated. When that is
done the EzSet/EQ process is complete and you
should press the

Step 12. If a "Near Field Error" message
appears, as shown in Figure 17i, you should
check to make certain that the microphone is
about 60 cm from the speaker being tested and
that the top of the microphone unit is pointing
towards the speaker. You may also have to raise
or lower the master volume to achieve accurate
readings. After checking these two items, as
needed, make certain that the cursor is pointing
to the
BACK T O NEAR FIELD
press the Set Button
. This will return you to
the
NEAR FIELD E Q SELECT
(Figure 17g) where you should repeat Steps 8
through 11, adjusting the mike placement and
volume level as needed until the
